Start from the beginning. 1 > 2 > Peace Walker > Ground Zeroes > 5

I tried the original Metal Gear once but it was hard in an 'adjust to the old gameplay' kind of way, do I need to play those first two?
>>384632170
if you play 2 before 1 you'll have no idea what's going on. You could try the mgs1 remake on gamecube. The best order is chronological of course but playing 3 first and then chronological is fine, anything else will just confuse you.

What >>384632441 said. Also, you're talking about Metal Gear Solid on the PS1, not Metal Gear on the MSX, right?
>>384632638
I was refering to MSX Metal Gear

You should read a basic rundown of what happened in MG 1 and 2 but you don't have to play them

>not playing in release order

Ah, ok. Yeah, you definitely don't need to play those. You can just look up a plot summary for those on the wiki.
If you give MGS a try and won't like it gameplay-wise, give Twin Snakes a try.

I know it is a sin but I recently got freeshop on my 3ds and I knew it was the first chronologically.
